“Innocence, some ignorance, and youthful daring moved us to explore
the unprecedented.” – Tician Papachristou. Architect Tician
Papachristou passed away on June 18, 2018 at the age of 90.
Boulder’s architecture scene regards Papachristou with enormous
fondness and respect, and considers him “the one who got away.”
Before moving to New York in 1965 to work with legendary architect
Marcel Breuer, Papachristou practiced architecture in Boulder, where
he led the charge in facilitating pivotal change to its architectural
landscape. His body of work in Boulder, which includes a local
historic landmark and several designated Structures of Merit, was
influenced by the vernacular architecture of his native Greece as well
modernists including Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier. Join us in a
